have acquitted themselves nobly in the field

doubts that they would face real battle as

There was cry for blankets last night
which was really pitiful. The New Haven

would have slept warm enough if the compa-

4 Noble Work.

The Thornwell Orphange located

tuition under the fostering care of
benevolent people, everywhere was
originated by the Presbyterian
church, and is under the care of that
denomination, but it does not confnc

nation or locality. More than half
of its wards are from other States
than South Carolina, and from other
denominations, than the Presby-
terian. Ten States and seven de-
nominations are represented among
the inmates.
The Orphanage was first thought
of only twelve years ago, and from
the beginning has depended for its
all, upon the voluntary donation of
persons who could give only small
sums. Poor men have built it, only
q few wealthy donors being counted
among it's patrons. From the small

Wanted a Mascot.
Ne1r York Star.

Our friends "the Giants so called,
who represent New Your in the base
ball arena, now occupy fifth place in
the race for the pennant, with a de-
ciIed tendency to drop out of sight
altogether.
An intimate acquaintance with the
base ball fraternity convinces The
Star that there is no finer aggregation
of players in the country than the
New York nine. That they can play
great ball no one doubts who has seen
them toy with The Chicagoes and
humbug with the Detroits. The
trouble seems to be that they cannot
always play great ball when they
want to. They have no patron saint
to call upon in their need, no spirit
to hear their prayer, no superstition
to stimulate their effort, no luck to
fall back upon-:n word, no mascot.
Although not in the dictionaries or
encyclopedias, Audran's fascinating
opera has made US all familiar with
the functions Of THE Mascot"
Briefly they are these: If you've
got one you'll have all the luck
in the world; if you haven't you
won't. The possession Of q mascot
by q ball nine means home runs, base
hits, base steals, and a big score
for that side; and four.strikes-
out, flies, errors, sprained ankles and
split fingers for the other.
Mascots may be of any age, sex
or breed. The Bostons, for instance,
use a small boy, Harvard a bull
pup, the Detroits pretty girl, who
sits on certain chair in the grand
stand. 1t is absurd that, with all
the care that has been bestowed upon
the New York nine as to soubriquet,
uniform, health and good looks, and
with all the vast mascotle resources
of this great metropolis, nothing has
ever been done to supply Captain
Wards TEEN with mascot.

The Southern Baptist Convention
met in its thirty-second session (forty-

tist Church, Louisville, KY, Friday,
May 9Th. This body is the general
missionary organization of the Baptist
denomination in the Southern States:
It was organized in Augusta, Ca, in
in 1S45, consequent upon the unfor-
tunate controversy about slavery
which prevented hearty cooperation
between the Baptists Of the two Sec
tions in the old Triennial Convention
formed in 1914. In the territory rep
resented by this body there are six
teen States, in which there are 22,576
churches, with total membership of
l,939,140. Of these, probably one.
half are colored churches, whose work
is not represented in the missionary
statistics of the Convention. One
million white Baptists have the del
egates here. The majority of the
Baptists in the South are in

churches seldom have preaching oft.

quently are not developed in regard
to the grand missionary enterprises
of the denomination. Hence the ag-
gregste funds reported compare
very unfavorably with the vastly
larger contributions of their brethren
in the North. Still each year gives
increasing evidence Of gratifying adj.
vance all along the line. The con-
yention is maintained with the hope
that through its agency these churches
may be more more efficiently devel-
ooed. There are most cordial rela-

The Way to Stop It.
Ne1r York Star.

1t is almost enough to make one
regret that our government is not
despotism to realize that the author
tiles are powerless to prevent the
pernicious habit of cigarette smoking
BY boys. The parents who have Pc
titioned the Board of Health to put
q stop to this deleterious and dis
gusting practice have allowed their
feelings as heads Of families to over
come their judgment as citizens.
Home influence and moral suasion
must be relied on to eradicate the
petty vice that enervates the rising
generation. It is probably only a
mania which will have it's run for
brief time. 1t is necessary to in
spire among boys the idea that cigs-
arctic smoking is neither smart
nor manly. And this is one little task
in daily life to which we should one
and all address ourselves.

The Ney Mystery.

The recent exhumation Of the re-
mains Of P. S. Ney, at Third Creek
Church, Rowan County, n. c., shed
no light upon the mystery of the &C.
centric man who many have long
supposed was the veritable Marshal
Ney of France. SO much of the
skull had passed into dust that it
could not be ascertained whether or
not it had been trephined. Unavail-
ing search was made in the grave for
the silver plate and for the bullets
which it was thought by many would
be found.
A large number Of persons were
present, and the exhumation was
conducted By eight well known ply
sicians, who made the following re-
port:
The undersigned physicians wish
to state that according to previous
notice we did today cause to be ex-
hulned the remains Of P. S. Ney, in
the presence Of q great number of
witnesses, some Of them from Wash
ington city, Raleigh and other parts
of the country. We found some Of
the bones only and these in a state
of such decay that we cannot state
positively whether the skull had ever
been trephined Oh not. We made
diligent search for bullets said to
have been lodged in the body but
found none. We succeeded so far,
however, as to ascertain that the
skeleton was about feet 10
inches long and the skull around
about the eyes about 24 inches in
circumference.

that the orphans are retained in the

A NECESSITY FOR A CHANGE IN
THE SUPREME COURT.
A Plan Suggested.

The Anderson hteliqencer, after
speaking at length of the recent de-

We did not, however, intend to
make this article criticism upon the

these things to show the necessity
for change. What that change is
to be is receiving more than pass.
ing consideration at this time, and
we would like to suggest to the pro-
fcssion the reorganization of our ju.
dietary in such way as to combine
the features, with slight modifca.
tions, Of the Old Court Of Errors of
South Carolina and the Supreme
Court Of the United States. To begin
with, we would have the Supreme
Court consist of q Chief Justice
and three Judges, 80 that it would
be necessary to have three Judges
coucurring to render an opinion.
Where they divided equally let the
case be seEt up to the Court of Er-
rors, which should consist Of all the
Judges in the State, and meet, say
once in two years, to hear these cases,
and any Others which the Supreme
Court might deem necessary to be
determined by this highest Court.
One trouble with our Supreme Court,
as now organized, is the lack ofprac-
tice experience by tile Court. If
these Judges went among the people
around the Circuits they would get
many valuable ideas of practice, and
much practical information as to the
administration of law that they do
not now have, and the effect would,
We believe, tend to practicable the
adjudicature in this State, which is
now too often forced and theoretical.
We would accomplish this by re-
quiring all of the Judges, except the
Chief Justice, to take their turns on
Circuit. We would make up the Su.
premc Court by taking for one year
at a time, in regular alienation,
three Of the Circuit Judges. This
would elevate the Circuit bench, and
make the Legislature careful always
to select the ablest and best men for
Circuit Judges, and would combine
theory and practice in such way as
to improve both the Circuit and the
Supreme Courts. 1t would give US
more careful and consistent adjudi-
catures, and tend to make our Su-
preme Court reports what they were
before the war; systematic, har-
monious code Of laws, ably ezpound-
ed, and consistently adhered to. This
would give US certainty in the place
of doubt, uniformity instead of con.
slant change.

THE DEADLY CIGARETTE.
A Disease that Requires Heroic Treat
ment.
atlanta Constitution,

-1ttUHtU CONStuUttO3.
A distressed father sends to the
sanitary headquarters Of New York
the following wall of despair:
am the father of four boys, and
two of them are cigarette smokers
one twelve the other fourteen years.
1 notice their health is failing, and I
send them to physician. He says
it is from smoking cigarettes. Ihave
begged them to desist, but without
avail. I have punished them in va
rious ways, but they seem to have
acquired a habit which it is almost
next to impossible to check. Their
school companions also smoke. Be-
sides this, the photos which the man
ufacturers pack in the boxes are Of
such vulgar description, that alone
will ruin our young men, besides de-
stroying their health with the poison
Gus cigarettes. You would: confer a
great blessing on the people of the
city by rising up against the mon
strous crime Of which tue manufactu.
rers OF these cigarettes are guilty.
They ought to be taxed out Of exist
ence. There was a bill introduced
in our legislature a few years ago
prohibiting the sale Of cigarettes to
boys under fourteen. Bribery was
used to defeat it. ! know it to be
fact. Yours with respect. An ag-
grieved parent. WILLIAM CoNRoY.
Mr.. Conroy seems to feel an in
terestin his sons. He would like to
see them grow to perfect manhood.
He would rejoice to see them robust,
clear-headed and undefled in mind
and body.
But, alas, for the hopes of Mr.. Con-
roy. He finds that the deadly ciga-
rette is bigger man than he is He
finds that the miserable little roll of
sorry tobacco has stolen vigor from the
limbs of his boys and left them phys
ical wrecks on the very threshold of
youth.
The most painful part of Mr.. Con-
roy's letter is his despairing refer
ence to the obscene pictures. No
longer contented with destroying the
health OF boys, certain manufacturers
Of cigarettes now put into each pack
age an obscene photograph. The ef-
feet is most pernicious.
Cigarettes, accompanied by pic.
lures not good for the youths Of the
land to see, are sold by the thousand
in Atlanta. It is a wonder that
some Of the leaders in our moral
reform movements have not looked
into the obscene picture business
that is going hand in hand with the
cigarette traffic.
It may be there is no way to reach
the cigarettes and the pictures.
There is certainly way to reach the
boy who insists on smoking the one
and feasting his eyes on the other.
The way to reach such boy is to
reach him with the loose end of a
buggy trace. 1t will not kill him,
and it may possibly cure him. The
cigarette habit is a desperate disease
and requires heroic treatment.
